tions of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes,
and Lungs. Therefore, the Importance
of early and effective treatment cannot
be overestimated. Ayers Cherry Pee

speedy cure of Cold or Cough.
Last January I was attacked with q
severe Cold, which, by neglect and fire.

settling on my lungs. A terrible cough

Lung diseases, ever used in my family.
Robert Vanderpool, Meadville, Pa.
Some time ago l took slight Cold,
which, being neglected, grew worse, and
settled on my Lungs. l had hacking
cough, and was very weak Those who
knew me best considered my life TO be
in great danger. / continued to suffer
until l commenced using Ayers Cherry

life to its curative powers. = Mrs. Ann
Lockwood, Akron, New York.

here, the one great remedy for all diseases

in demand than any other medicine of its
class. j #. Roberts, Magnolia, Ark.

Made Fortune in a Few DAYS,

New Y ork Sun.
One OF the handsomest equipages
on Fifth avenue recently was driven
by young Irishman who arrived in
this city from Cork two or three
weeks ago with $500 in his pocket.
He had come to see the United States,
and the $500 was to pay his expenses.
One OF the acquaintance he made
was q newspaper man, who took the
visitor down into Wall street to show
him the sights thece, and quite by
chance introduced him to one of the
Stock Exchange magnates. The Irish
lad had a story Or two, new and sue
culent; the Stock Exchange man liked
them and an offhand friendshipsprang
up forthwith. The Stock Exchange
man was d bear; what more natural
than that the youth from Cork should
be invited into the ranks? In went
his $500 promptly. He didn't have
long to wait; little by little the stock
market began to split; soon it was
vide open. The $500 swelled into
$4,000 in a. few days; then 1t grew to
twice $4,000, and when a recent crash
came the figure doubled once again, and
$4,000 stood to the credit OF the
mere chit Of g. boy who had never ex-
pected to handle SO much money in
many a year to come He has bought
a horse and carriage. He has moved
from his quiet boarding house to a
tirst-cass hotel. He is going to make
that $4,000 change to 100000 be-
fore he goes to his home over the
ocean-so he says. There is just
bare possibility, though, that if he
doesn't let Wall street alone he NAV
be disappointed. Ii he stays in Wall
street long enough somebody else may
be driving that horse, and he may be
glad to borrow money to get a ticket
over the sea-

A Tale of Irish Eyictions.

In q reference to evictions in Ireland
the London correspondent of the New
York Sun says: No blood-and- thun-
der writer chronicling acts of sava 70
atrocity originating in his own brain
ever invented scenes of much grea ter
horror than those which have accom-
panied the evictions at Clenbeigh. The
burning of cottages over the heads OF
women and children; farmers wife

from her bed and laid fainting upon
the ground, while policemen load their
rifles around her; a mother vainly
begging shelter for a dying infant in a
hut from which she had beer, torn.
and then seeking to protect her babe
from the cold by covering it with
straw III pig .sty -such are the scenes
alch accompanied one landlords ess-
forts to extort his impossible rents,
and such are the items daily added
to the score which Irishmen have to
wipe out. 1t is for his desire to free 4
great empire from scenes like these
that Gladstone is assailed as the
enemy OF his country's greatness aud
unity In the case of the woman to
whom shelter was refused for her
child, it IS positively exhilarating to
hear OF a buxom young Irish woman
who used her muscle and shovel and

however, had simply tied it in knot

HousekeeDers.

L know one, and I would like to see
the man who would try to palm off on
her oleomargarine. Those housekeep-
ers, those mothers who pride them
selves on bringing up their children
we'll, and who keep a constant eye on
their servants, can only be bent from
the strictest rules OF propriety in the
household by housekeeping eonsidera-
tions. There's one of this dear, old
fashioned school up town who has
very pretty servant maid a very tempt
ing servant maid, who always gets
served first in the morning, and has all
the tradespeople interested in the
house. The milkman tries to come
late, SO he may find her, and the but
terman is wild about her, and the
butcher sometimes comes himself to
see THAT the meat is all right. Those
advantages have not been lost upon
the Lady of the house, but she is q
stickler for propriety. So, when,
the other morning, she found the
butchers boy kissing the pretty ser.
want maid, she was shocked. She
wrote q note to the butcher and told
him if he couldn't send q bow who
behaved himself she would take her
name OFF bis list of customers and
she'd get her meat elsewhere. At
breakfast they spoke about it.

Mr.. CHARLES f. RUGGLES, millionaire
lumberman of Manistee, Mich, is so strong a
believer in the maxim that cleanliness is
next to godliness," that he is devoting a part
of his wealth to establishing public baths in
some of the larger cities of the Northwest.
He has made formal offer to the authorities
Of Milwaukee to donate $25, 900 for the estab-
lishment of baths if the city will furnish the
water and a committee to assist him in man
aging the institution. Leading citizens re-
gard the proposition as very liberal, but doubt
induced to furnish the water. AS usual, that

that the disregard of the system to which Mr..
Eaton refers is not exceptional nor confined
to Indiana and Maryland, but takes in the
whole country with great impartiality. Any
one not blinded to the truth, as professional
reformers and mugwumps like the ex-com-

something to convince even them. As a mat

THE citizens conspiracy in st. Louis for
the punishment of election frauds has resulted
in a number of indictments. In the trial of

self under Indictment, testified that he was
hired by Democratic member of the city
central committee to look up people who had
not registered and enter their names on the
books. Witness said he wrote in the poll
books thirty names of persons who would have
been entitled to register had they presented
themselves As they chose to stay at home
their votes were cast for them. The defend
ant was then placed on the stand and con-
frmed that the registration lists We're all

gagged three men who did nothing else but
register men who would not register them

not approve of this plan of registering man

his knowledge
